The people of Dubai are known for not doing things by halves, and that attitude has been adopted by the country’s police force, as demonstrated by the addition of a Lamborghini Aventador to its fleet.

Finished in the familiar green and white livery, the Aventador also features a roof-mounted LED light bar as well as that delicious 6.5-litre engine, which develops 515 kW (700 hp) and allows a 2.9 second sprint to 100 km/h and a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

The Lamborghini was apparently purchased to be used on external roads and in locations that require fast, sporty cars, but will also be present around tourist areas as a showpiece within the force’s upgraded fleet. Deputy police director Gen Khamis Matter al-Muzaina has boasted that the heavyweight supercar would illustrate “how classy Dubai is”.
